Why do people ask questions which they know the answer to ?
Answers:
Because sometimes they are too insecure to ask a question that no one will answer or know the answer to.
It is easier to ask for what you know that what you don't understand.
This is after all a social site and everyone wants to participate feel social. What is worse than being socially excluded in real life? Being socially excluded online.
bored
to hear someone else say the same thing and back them up..
to see other point of view
a feeble attempt to show other people how smart they think they are...
Because they like to hear other opinions.
They want to see the amusing answers they get back.
Well personally, I am a strong advocator for asking others question to which I may already have the answer.
Why not? Who is to say that all questions have only one right answer? Who is to say that personal history, personal experiences and our own individualities does not affect our thinking? Unless, for example, you are dealing with, what I call, a “absolute question,” (which is a question that always has one, always consistent answer) such as a math equation, then all other questions usually are an endless gateway to different ideas, perceptions, interpretations, and conclusions. By asking a question to which you already may have your preconceived notion or opinion on, you might find another’s response more persuasive, more in depth, more simpler than your own – and s/he might ultimately change your mind or inspire a whole new way to view your question.
Therefore, again, if you read my profile introduction, you will see that I love questions that open up the mind. And like I said before, unless you are dealing with one of those types of “absolute questions” – which are mostly limited to mathematics – then you can have hundreds of different answers to a single question.
Insecure people what other people to affirm their statement by agreeing with them.

They want validation by others', of their own opinions (As I'm sure you know).
